ABSTRACT:
A piezoelectric polymer (PVDF) hydrophone array consists of multiple layers disposed symmetrically about a stiffener layer. The stiffener layer prevents flexural modes in the operating frequency band and provides a mounting structure for acceleration noise cancellation. The piezoelectric polymer layers are attached to the stiffener layer either directly or through intervening layers which provide mechanical vibration isolation of the polymer and stiffener layers.
